He Spends a Day with His Family and Then
Proceeds to Austin.
Special to the Gazette
PALESTINE, TEX, Jan. l2.-Hon. John
H. Reagan arrived here this morning on
the 1880 passenger, and, after spending
the day with his family, will leave for
Austin tomorrow morning. The Judge
is in splendid health and very confident
of the result of his coming fight for the
United States senatorship. The story in
the newspapers that Reagan and Maxey
were on a breskneck race TO see which
could reach Austin first is all bosh. The
two statesmen are on the best of terms
and would have left Washington for
Texas together had not Senator Maxey's
committee affairs prevented him from
leaving Washington at the time Judge Rea-
gan did.
The statement in yesterdays Fort
Worth GAZETTE that ex-senator John
Young Gooch of this city was in Austin,
working tooth and toenail for Reagan for
United States senator, in order that he
might step into the latter's seat in con-
gress, is mistake. The ex-senator is
here attending to his professional duties,

In conversation Judge Reagan states
that the strongest hght that has taken

commerce bill, and that the lawmakers

NEGRO Ex0sus.
The Mysterious Murder of a Negro Ian,

The Mysterious Murder of a Negro Land
Agent Reported from Mississippi.
Special to the Gazette.
VICKsBURG, MISS, Jan. 12.-Ever
since the large exodus OF negroes from
the lhill portion of Mississippi to
the Yazoo bottoms began, there
has been much indignation among
the people in the hills against
the emigration of labor agents. who they
said have been stealing thei: labor and
have left them without hands to work
their places. Since the meeting at Ed
wards, warning labor agents away, they
have given up the business, but have gen.
orally got ut grOes to act for them, as they
could operate among the c0lored people
without attracting much attention.
Among those who have been inducing
the hands from the hills to emigrate
to the Yszoo bottoms was Elder Phil
Green, who is quite large colored
farmer in Sharky county. A
week ago Green went to Amite
to arrange about bringing some
hands to the Yszoc country. While he
was at the station-house in Gloster a
party OF white men rushed upon him, and
Green, becoming alarmed, made for
the woods, pursued by them.
white planter frum Sharky, who was
also at the depot, was waited on by the
men and warned against trying to induce
negroes to emigrste, out upon explaining
that ne Yves not labor agent he was
allowed to depart unmolested. Green es-
capped from mis- pursuers and took the
train at an,ther depot. On Fri
day he returned to Gloster to
arrange for more negro laborers. Last
Sunday an unsigned telegram reached
Sharby county from Gloster as follows:
"If you want to bring Elder Green home
you mus send box for him"
The circumstances of his killing have
not vet been made known. Green was in
well-to-do circumstances and was very
popular with the whites. and an investi-
CATION Of his murder will be demanded
The movement of negroes from the hllly
counties of Mississippi TO the Yazoo
swamps has been very large of ate, more
Than 10000 having left in the last three
months. 1t is thought that this killing
will have tendency to check the exodus.

OTHER REPORTS.
invite your consideration of the re-
ports, and valuable suggestions made
thin, of the superintendent of public in
struction, the commissioner of the gen.
eral land office, treasurer, and other de-
partments and officers, herewith trans
mitted.
Perhaps this will be my last official
communication with the peoples repre-
sentatives, and l mey be permitted to say,
after four years labor devoted to the inter
ests ofthe great commonwealth, that l may
have made some mistakes during this ser
vice; but a retrospective view of the
main issues that have demanded my ear
nest consideration fails to disclose any
action of mi"e, under existing laws, that
| would change.
Ny acts of the last four years are well
known to you and the people, aud if that
the future historian will record the truth
only, shall be satisfied.
Though our state has been visited by
drouths aud floods, which have brought
distress to very many of our people, az
want is still struggling with citizens of
some counties, l congratulate you upon
the splendid condition of the treasury,
whose venerable custodian now holds
more money to the credit of the general
revenue than he did four years ago when
l took the oath of Office, and against
which there is but little outstanding
claims. Very respectfully,
JOHN IRELAND.

Tribute to Logan.


From the Louisville CouIier-Jeurnai
''The death Of Cen Logan is not
without political significance, though
this is not the time, nor place, to con
slider it. In the presence Of death pol
itical speculation hangs her head and
is silent. An unfinching soldier and
an unquestiouing partisan has gone to
his account; and though we may not
march with the funeral procession, we
stand uncovered whilst it bears hero
to his final home on earth Before the
spectacle Of domestic anguish, which
though we see it not, we know is there,
all hearts must bow. Thus, one by
one the conspicuous figures Of the per-
iod of WAY are taken from the scene.
But yesterday it was Grant and Han
cock. Today it is Logan. Lee and
Thomas went long years ago Let Us
hope that in that world, where truth
is eternal, they at least are happy in
its light, and let the dead past, which
has buried so many Of its dead, live
in our memory only to soften our
hearts and unite our hands in a IA
tional fellowship which shall see US
safely to the other side, and endure
forever with those who come after us. ,

Make The Law.

We clip the following item from
the North Wisconsin News, and we
cordially endorse it. Give Us the law
as suggested, only make coniiscation
applicable to the first ofeu5c:
The Hurley houses of ill-fame are
attracting a great deal Of notice in
Milwaukee and other parts of the
state at present. The Milwaukee Off
GERS have been up to Hurley twice and
rescued girls who were being kept in
stockade dens against their will. On
each occasion they used warrants for
larceny to coyer their real purpose. 1t
Is shame to our state that the laws
regulating this great infamy are so
loose, making it almost impossible to
successfully prosecute and clean out
the vilest dens, which are conducted
in the openest, most unblushing man
ner. We notice that Gov. Rusk has
called the attention of Judge Clough
to the matter and something will UNI
doubtedly be done. a law ought to
be passed at the comming session of
the legislature putting the matter I'M
der the especial jurisdiction of the
Circuit judges. That upon complaint
to the judge by any person he shall
summon witnesses and if it shall APP
pear to his satisfaction that a house
has the reputation of a house of i'll
fame that the sheriff shall be instruct
ed to close it up as nuisance and on
second oliense to tear down and con-
tiscate the materials in same to use of
the poor fund. If all the papers in
the state would combine on this mat
ter great reform would certainly be
brought about.

Miss Villas Debut.

A Washington dispatch of the 10Th
says:
The first tea this year given at the
house of any member of the cabinet,
was one yesterday afternoon, given by
Postmaster General and Mrs Villas in
honor of the debut of their daughter
Mrs. Villas received her guests just
within her doorway leading to the
parlors. She wore sleeveless gown
of black satin and lace, with jet pass
ementeries and trimmings. Miss Villas
who stood beside her mother, wore
white china crepe with houncing of
Nalencinnes lace on the skirt. The
bodice was cut N-shape, back and
front, and filled in with illusion.
Long lopings and clusters Of white
ribbon formed an effective trimming.
White giants de suede reaching above
the elbow were worn with the costume.
She carried only a loose cluster of
of white buds but on a table in the
rear of the receiving party were heap
ed elegant baskets Of flowers and
boquets of roses.
When the entertainment was ut its
height Mrs. Cleveland entered, ac-
companied by her mother, Mrs. Fol
som. They remained nearly half an
hour, and their departure was the sig
nal for general leave taking.
